Frozen in Time is a gripping true story of survival,
bravery, and honor in the vast Arctic wilderness during
World War II, from the author of New York Times bestseller
Lost in Shangri-La. On November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the
Greenland Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to the
search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm
and also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board
survived, and the US military launched a daring rescue
operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck
amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished. Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate
of the survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to
endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter, until an
expedition headed by famed Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen
brought them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes the reader
deep into the most hostile environment on earth, through
hurricane-force winds, vicious blizzards, and subzero
temperatures. Moving forward to today, he recounts the efforts of the
Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. – led by
indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza – who worked for years to
solve the mystery of the Duck’s last flight and recover the
remains of its crew. A breathtaking blend of mystery and adventure Mitchell
Zuckoff's Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a
Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II is also a
poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military
personnel and a tribute to the everyday heroism of the US
Coast Guard.
